Does the scrutiny on the second strike “obscure” the larger question of the legality of the strikes… or does it draw more attention to the overarching legal question? 🤔

This is the idea — intimidation/lawfare. “We may not convict you, but we will make your life hell if you cross us.”
The question — is there any recourse? No.

Fuentes’ antisemitism runs far deeper than anti-Zionism. He is obviously vile, but as Michelle Goldberg’s concurrent Fuentes column noted, Republicans are cool with Fuentes’ antisemitism as long as he’s “on their side.” #NETTR www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o...

And here’s your problem, Ross — The Republican power base has declared all criticism of the Israeli government “antisemitism.” There’s no turning back, and it’s alienating younger righties… playing right into Fuentes’ lair.

Dispensationalism — or Death Cult thinking, as I prefer to call it — has a much wider hold on Republican voters/conservatives than Ross wants to admit.

Very convenient of Ross not to go into specifics. What was this radicalization? Calling out misogynistic and culturally insensitive behavior? Recognizing trans people as “people”? Calling for police accountability?

Coincidentally, the next song on that album, the witheringly titled “Halcyon Days,” was about neocon nation-building, but seems to apply pretty well to Trump's lawless Caribbean killings. open.spotify.com/track/4poTID...

Don’t tell Trump, but nuking the filibuster is still a Dem victory:
1. Republicans could have done it all along to stop the shutdown
2. Shows Rs don’t care about rising healthcare premiums due to ACA subsidy cancellation.
3. Filibuster needed to go!
